William Tricker (1853-1916) started commercial water lily culture in the United States in the late 1800's. He began experimenting in hybridizing water lilies and what helps their growth. The shape, colors and hardiness of his beautiful aquatic plants has withstood the test of time.

In the early 1890's, hybridization of water lilies gave him a reputation as a leader in aquatic plants. He established a water lily nursery and company in both Ohio and Pennsylvania that were passed down to his family until the 1980's when Richard Lee purchased the Ohio company. In 1892, the first William Tricker catalog was mailed to customers across the nation.

A Message to Our Customers

Like many American retailers, we are watching the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak very closely. The safety and wellbeing of our customers and our Team Members are always our highest priority orver business, and we are – and have been – taking action to ensure we are protecting our facilities, customers and our employees.

Our Team Members are working as safely and quickly as possible to handle the increase in online orders. Being short-handed, we are doing the best we can to accommodate your requests. Online orders and customer service response times are taking longer than usual.

Store Safety

The Tricker store has very limited space inside forcing us to close down for walk-ins. All employees are following CDC recommended protocols of wearing a mask, social distancing, and we test their body temperature before they start working.

Order Online and Ship To You

You can order online at our website and have it shipped to you.

Walk-ins Are Closed

Because our facility has tight quarters, we have decided to close our walk-in store for everyone's safety. This is for your safety and our employees as the 6-ft distancing cannot be smoothly done.

Everyone here at Tricker's Water Gardens appreciate your patience during these trying times in our history. We have, and still are, adjusting our business practices to accommodate our customers. Thank you for understanding and have a very safe and exciting year.
